I believe Zhaph is talking about the Mediapartners bot, which is the bot used to index the page to decide what ads to serve if Adsense is being used. In this case, SO is trying to block Mediapartners because it's using bandwidth but not doing anything, since SO doesn't use Adsense.

@waiwai933 - yep, that's right, I was talking about the fact that I didn't think Mediapartners was being blocked.
